Hi @joe-bloggs,
There is no way to exclude images from cache. But if the shortpixel adaptive image CDN changes the image URL to some other hostname then it won’t be served though Cloudflare CDN.
So, for example your images are like this: but if shortpixel changes that URL to then it won’t be served though Cloudflare as the hostname is getting changed. This same logic applies to Jetpack image CDN. It also changes the image hostname, so they don’t create conflict with other CDN system used on the website.
Many thanks for the answer @isaumya , it makes a perfect sense.

No problem @joe-bloggs. Happy to help. 🙂 You can also try out Optimole which also provide great image optimization and even offloading the images from your server if you want.
